Our jacuzzi was old and outdated. Luis and he's guys made it look absolutely gorgeous. It's now the highlight of the backyard. They were very fast, finishing in 3 days. Always cleaned up at the end of the day, professional, and showed up on time. The pricing was good, better than other companies. You won't be disappointed with Luiz. Shannon & Ivan Johnsen read more

We needed our pool replastered and got three quotes. We went with So Cal Pool Plastering because we felt most comfortable with "Luis". Not only did they do an excellent job on our old pool, they delivered EVERYTHING they said they would do and then some. They were quick, extremely honest, professional, on time and reliable. Great communication. Great value. They went above and beyond our expectations. Our pool looks better than it ever did. We chose the micro pebble with glass/abalone mix. Simply beautiful!

Work started June 2020 Completed Aug. 2020 We have enjoyed our newly remodeled pool for 3 months, and all we can say is, "Love it!" We interviewed three pool remodel companies. So glad we selected So Cal Pool Plaster. Thierry was professional, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. He made the stressful remodel process easy. His crews were always on time, super-efficient, and friendly. Communication was always easy. They honestly listened to our requests ensuring our requests were completed and/or exceeded our specifications. The pool remodel consisted of: * New coping, no poured cement, molded and dyed to our color specification (Omaha Tan). Each piece was hand cut to beautifully surround the pool. * New tile * New pebble bottom with extra glass beads and abalone shell to produce beautiful sparkly blue water. * Upgraded drains brought to code. * New Belgard Catalina Grana pavers (color Toscana). All work was done at a reasonable price within a reasonable time frame. We never felt like we were being price gouged nor were there any "surprise" additional charges. We highly recommend Thierry and his crew members including Efrain (lead), Adrian, Caesar, Francisco (lead), and his brother who did a great job installing the pool water level. Thank you!! read more

Thierry Bare Owner of So Cal Pool Plaster, is the worst contractor to choose for your pool project, He pretends he has so much experience, and knowledge in the industry, He claimed he has a full crew he is far from that! Unfortunately we decide to move forward and hire him to remodel our pool and spa. We realized after the project started, he was never around, He turned out to be just a subcontractor, and hires other people to do the work! He never obtained proper permit for the job, He has one of the worst customer service ethics, After his subcontractor started the demolition of tile and plaster on my pool and spa, A different crew of 2 showed up late in the afternoon few days, to prep the pool for tile installation, The following morning only one guy showed up, and started installing the new tile, With no proper equipment what so ever, no level, no tile saw to cut the tile, Just eyeballing thing, The guy did not even have a proper ladder or scaffold to reach the high area in the deep end of the pool, He proceeded using 2 plastic buckets with a 2X4 to stand on with his hands above his head trying to install the tile on the spa spillway wall! The guy was not a tile installer, After the day ended, and the worker left, I inspected his work it was absolutely horrible, The tile was miss aligned, installed unevenly, high and low spots, almost an inch of space behind the last row of tile around most of the entire pool, And tiles were already falling of the wall the next day! That evening I called Thierry Bare to share my disappointment with the poor quality of the workmanship his installer was doing, And I was blown a way with his respond that this is how it's going to be, and he will not correct anything! And refused to even come out to the job site to inspect the poor work his installer is doing, and he told me if am not happy that's to bad and hanged up the phone on me!!! After many text back and forth, I informed him to either make the corrections, or I have to find another contractor to do the job correct, and complete the project, He informed me that would be fine and he abandoned the project. Please think twice about hiring this contractor, And don't get fooled by his his misleading 5 stars reviews! After all that was the reason I decided to hire him, come to find out the hard way what kind of contractor he is. I have attached photos to document the type of wok this crook does for a tile and plaster job exceeding Ten Thousand Dollars. read more

Do not get fooled by the reasonable prices you will get at first.You will double pay later. As many said the owner was very nice at the beginning and they seemed to have done their job well.But less than in a year I got tons of issues with everything.Plaster,lights,equipment.Addressing the owner gave no result.The answer was " contact the vendor on this and that".This is how you gonna be taken care of after you pay off 100%. read more

I interviewed 4 different Pool Companies and Thierry was the only contractor that constantly followed up and explained the different possible fixes for our pool. Actually if it wasn't for his constant follow up our pool would probably not be fixed to date. His Team worked fast and everybody was very respectful and polite. My wife and I plan to do a complete pool remodel and hardscape remodel within 2 years, Thierry is getting this job for sure!!! Thanks to you and your crew! Eddie Tanamachi read more

This company is a complete fraud. The red flags were there but I took a leap of faith. Bad mistake. The work quality is horrible. They outsource everything to the lowest bidding subcontractor. Big red flag is that they ask for full payment the day that plastering is finished. But you can't see the problem until a few days later. Hold back payment. If you have problems with them, don't bother filing a complaint with the contractor's state license board as they are useless. File a claim with their bond company. You can get the bond company info from the contractor's state license board website. I was able to get back from the bond company. read more

I am taking back everything in my previous review regarding So Cal pool plaster! I want to know how to remove a review from Yelp! This is the only option I found thus so far. So I take back everything I previously wrote, The owner of the company kept pressuring me into writing a review before the job was complete! So I retract the things I wrote earlier! That is all for now and I might post an update at a later time but for now not happy read more

Thierry and his team did an excellent job. Super professional, showed up on time, clean and stellar results!!!

If i could give 10 stars I would. Thiery and his team were nothing short of amazing!! My pool looks beautiful and I recommend anyone and everyone using Socal Pool and Plaster for their pools. Thank you guys for the detailed and beautiful work, the quick and effecient service and the pricing to match!! read more

We had the best experience working with Thierry! He arrived with sample plaster color and textures to add a Baja Shelf and re-plaster our 20+ year old pool. My husband and I were debating between 2 colors and Thierry offered that we go see the colors at job sites he had just completed. This made our decision much easier. His crews showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves. He was very easy to get ahold of either by text or call. I would recommend him to everyone, can't wait to use our pool this summer and many more to come. Thank you Thierry!!! read more

Thierry was professional, honest, fair and timely! His crew were efficient and clean and my pool looks great! Highly recommend So Cal Pools! read more

Direct message me for details. Poor customer service, low quality work. Right now, I am trying to get info on pool lights and he won't give it to me as well as a write-up on pool heater for warranty company. He will take your money and then good luck getting him back for issues/problems. Very available in the beginning and that goes to the wayside at the end. My neighbor had issues with him as well. read more

Thierry & his team did a good job for our pool renovation with replaster of Stonescape mini pebble & re-tile. Very professional.

I normally do not write reviews because experiences are very subjective. However, Thierry and his workers deserve recognition for the wonderful job they did on our pool. After 10 years of having a drained pool and saving up, we finally were able to save up enough to fix our pool July 2020. We use Yelp a lot to help find services vs Google reviews. Although SoCal Pool Plaster has many wonderful reviews on Google, the Yelp reviews made us a little hesitant. But now I'm glad I went with my gut feeling to go with SoCal Pool Plaster when I talked to Thierry. We interviewed 13 companies and went with Socal Pool Plaster because they matched our budget (not the cheapest bid though) and we felt that Thierry was professional and knowledgeable when he came to place the bid. First, Thierry is always on time and was one of two companies that continuously followed up with us before the project started out of 13!! Second, He is very knowledgeable about the options we have for the pool, and especially in the plumbing which surprised my husband who builds Kaiser hospitals as a commercial plumber. Third, all crews (demo, plumbing, tile) are very friendly and professional. Any hick ups along the way were fixed promptly as promised. Fourth, he always communicated with me for big issues or questions throughout the process, whether through messages or phone calls. Fifth, Thierry is reliable and works efficiently. I messaged him I wanted Bright White grouting instead of Standard White the day before the tile crew came. I noticed one of the guys leave and come back with a new bag of grout that same morning. I felt bad for the last minute request but was so happy that Thierry was able to make the switch without slowing anything down. For these reasons, we would highly recommend Thierry and his company! I'll be writing the same review for Google. read more

Over the last few months I have been getting bids from several pool remodeling companies. We were in need of new plaster and painting of the deck for our 20 year old pool. When we met Thierry he was very professional and willing to answer any questions we had. He willing came back several times to make sure we understood. So we hired him to do the job. Well we are so very pleased. Our pool looks brand new and the pebble tech is just beautiful. I cannot say enough good about Thierry and his crew. Very polite and always left our yard clean. I highly recommend this company to any of our friends. read more
